Dog Care


Beginning Preventative Care for Puppies:


To ensure that your puppy receives complete preventative care to protect against disease, we recommend a series of three visits. During these visits, your puppy will receive all immunizations needed to maintain good health. In addition, a veterinarian will thoroughly examine your puppy to identify any potential problems.

Because your puppy’s health and well-being will depend on more than just immunizations, we will sit down and talk with you about caring for your puppy, training and behavior concerns, and answer any questions you might have.

Puppy series visits consist of:
  • Semi-Annual Fitness Evaluation (SAFE)
  • Internal parasite (worm) testing and treatment
  • Immunizations:
    • Distemper/Hepatitis/Parainfluenza
    • Canine Parvovirus
    • Adenovirus Bordetella
    • Leptospirosis
    • Lymes Disease (as needed)
  • Puppy Rap: A thorough discussion of adapting your new puppy, customized to fit your home situation. Including: pet care, housebreaking, behavior problems and socialization.
